Need guidance with suspected KDSS noise

[I4CUTigers]

I have searched the forums for the notorious clunk and that doesn’t appear to be my issue.

I have a 2018 TDRORP with KDSS.

Upon starting and driving down the road, I am occasionally getting a loud pop/clunk that sounds like a rock hit hard in a wheel well. However, the origin of the noise seems to be coming from right under the driver’s side, where the KDSS cylinder is.

Most of the KDSS threads pointed to a problem with turning left, and the noise coming from the front of the vehicle. I just had this happen driving in a straight smooth road at 45mph, about 5 minutes after leaving a restaurant, and the noise definitely came from under the driver’s seat. Is the 3rd or 4th time it’s happened.

Any ideas?

I know this is old but did you ever get this issue solved? Thanks!

KDSS cylinder in the back tends to be clanky during cold weather. I needlessly replaced rear shocks just to confirm it was KDSS making thump noise.

Sway bar link/end bushings have a limited life depending on driving habits and will produce clunks when worn. Went through this on mine, easy check/fix.

especially with a lift, the front bushings at the LCA's are in a bad position. i replaced ours and it eliminated a knocking sound.

I replaced bushings but occasional clunk is still there because it comes from cylinder itself.
